Re: DUN question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Network Connections

NC_RasConnect
Reg_DWORD
Value 0 to prevent users from dialing out, 1 to allow users to dial out

Or:

Disable "Log on using dial-up connection" (Line 77)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Right click My Network Places/Properties/Advanced (top toolbar)/Dial-Up Preferences/Enable Auto-Dial by Location/Uncheck all locations and check off always ask me before auto dialing. Also, Disable autodial while I am logged on.

In the Enable Auto-Dial By Location dialog box, select each location for which you want the automatic dialing feature to operate. Reboot.

Disable or Enable AutoDial (Line 91)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To view the list of names and addresses recorded by AutoDial, type the following command at a command prompt: rasautou -s

To delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses

You can delete any TCP/IP addresses that you see under this key. Note that AutoDial can use IP addresses, DNS fully qualified domain names (FQDN), and NetBIOS names.

OK, Then you'll need to configure Internet access and use either the
option "Dial when a network connection isn't available" or the more
direct "Never dial a Connection".

Where do I find these on XP Home? I've looked at the properties in the DUN
dialog several times but do not see anything like these options. Sounds
like exactly what I need.

The other issue you face is that the
items you list frequently attempt web connection for updates, etc... &
not all of those have option boxes to disable the web checks.

This Comaq DUN is totally different from the eMachine DUN sitting beside
it. The DUN I am having problems with on the Compaq goes on right after
booting the system. It dials out without asking. If I go off line it
immediately comes on and dials. The eMachine never does this. But as far as
I can tell the DUN dialog properties are both set the same. The choices you
mention above must be elsewhere.

I ran a complete scan with an anti-spyware ap (SUPERAntiSpyware free
edition) yesterday again and it found nothing. As soon as I get it updated
I'll try another anti-spyware ap (Micro Trend) I installed earlier today.

TIA

Ken
